Harris is one of several prominent Democrats in a growing field
of potential candidates vying to challenge President Donald Trump
in the next election. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts
announced her candidacy earlier in January, and former Housing
and Urban Development secretary Julián Castro has formed a
presidential exploratory committee.

Other potential candidates include Sen. Cory Booker of New
Jersey, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, and Rep. Beto O'Rourke of
Texas.

Harris is currently serving her first term in the Senate, similar
to former President Barack Obama, who, as a first-term senator,
was initially criticized for his inexperience after he announced
his 2008 presidential campaign. Prior to her role in the Senate,
Harris was California's attorney general and served as the
district attorney of San Francisco.

Harris, an Indian American, rose to prominence within the
Democratic Party after becoming an outspoken critic of Trump's
immigration policies and political nominees, namely Justice Brett
Kavanaugh.

"When we talk about the immigration debate, there are powerful
forces - including this president - that are attempting to vilify
immigrants because they were born in another country," she said
during a CNN interview on Wednesday. "This should offend all of
us."
